Summary
WEE2 (WEE2 oocyte meiosis inhibiting kinase, HGNC:19684) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q34, encoding Wee1-like protein kinase 2 (P0C1S8). Oocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates and inhibits CDK1/CDC2 and acts as a key regulator of meiosis during both prophase I and metaphase II.
Predicted to enable protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including female pronucleus assembly; negative regulation of cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 9)
- homozygous mutations in WEE2 that are responsible for fertilization failure in humans, were identified. (PMID:29606300)
- WEE2-AS1 over-expressed in HCC and was positively correlated to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, hepatic vascular invasion, poor tumor differentiation and poor patient prognosis. WEE2-AS1 also accelerated the proliferation, migration, invasion and cell cycle progression of HCC cells. A preliminary HBx-WEE2-AS1- FERMT3 pathway which may serve as a therapeutic target for HBV-associated HCC. (PMID:30471857)
- These findings confirmed our previous research and expanded the mutational spectrum of WEE2, making it a potential genetic diagnostic marker for those suffering from human fertilization failure. (PMID:30628060)
- A high prevalence of WEE2 mutations was found in Chinese women experiencing fertilization failure or poor fertilization. (PMID:30827523)
- Novel variants found in WEE2, which is autosomal-recessive inherited, may be related to recurrent pronucleus formation failure and female infertility. (PMID:30827524)
- Novel compound heterozygous mutations c.598C>T (p.Arg200Ter) and c.1319G>C (p.Trp440Ser) in WEE2 gene in a female whose oocytes could not form pronucleus after intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Mutations in WEE2 gene affect the normal function of WEE2 proteins and cause fertilization failure. (PMID:31428887)
- Clinical exome sequencing identifies novel compound heterozygous mutations of the WEE2 gene in primary infertile women with fertilization failure. (PMID:33904356)

Function. Oocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase that phosphorylates and inhibits CDK1/CDC2 and acts as a key regulator of meiosis during both prophase I and metaphase II. Required to maintain meiotic arrest in oocytes during the germinal vesicle (GV) stage, a long period of quiescence at dictyate prophase I, by phosphorylating CDK1 at ‘Tyr-15’, leading to inhibit CDK1 activity and prevent meiotic reentry. Also required for metaphase II exit during egg activation by phosphorylating CDK1 at ‘Tyr-15’, to ensure exit from meiosis in oocytes and promote pronuclear formation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in oocytes (at protein level). May also be expressed in testis.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on serine residues. Phosphorylation leads to increase its activity.
Disease relevance. Oocyte/zygote/embryo maturation arrest 5 (OZEMA5) [MIM:617996] An autosomal recessive infertility disorder characterized by oocyte inability to exit metaphase II, resulting in fertilization failure. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. WEE1 subfamily.
